    Areas of Strength

    Squad worked really well together, Scorpions was effective in their movement towards OBJ's and at one point split up to reinforce the Platoon while a team conducted reconnaissance on OBJ Flashbang effectively for a successful breach into OBJ Flashbang.

    Areas of Weakness

    Awareness of members down around them needs improvement. I went down and the 2 members next to me didnt notice. I ended up die-ing and needing a reinsert which slowed things down drastically.

    Suggested Improvements

    Work on buddy team checks on a reoccurring basis during operations. Overall its just more minor things overall that we can improve on as a team through Squad Drills.

    Mission Summary

    Scorpions pushed as the lead element to a bridge crossing. Scorpions called in a smoke mission and lead the charge across the bridge to establish a foothold in the initial enemy position. At one point both the PL and PSG went down and i was directed to take control of the platoon. We coordinated with the other Squads and finished securing the area until platoon leadership came back into the fight. From there Scorpions did effective bounding with the stryker to OBJ Order. We did take some IDF and a flank attack that slowed down our movement to the OBJ. When we were slowed down we did end up losing 2 personnel during that situation we were able to regroup and push to the OBJ. When we arrived at the OBJ we were able to push through with no casualties and no holdups. Once we cleared we pushed the Squad through to the next OBJ. From there we split all dismounts to hold a foothald to attack OBJ Flashbang where the Stryker and myself went back to provide support to the Platoon that was in currently in a mass casualty position. Our dismounts then conducted deliberate recon on OBJ Flashbang where mounted element supported the Platoon. Once we finished support the Stryker moved to the team in the foothold position and was able to really effective in the assault into OBJ Flashbang. Although we dealt with some downed personnel on the OBJ we took it with great effectiveness. 3CAB was great to have around and in support and the Zeus mission was very enjoyable as well. The whole Squad enjoyed it,
